US aviation crash: 10,000 flights delayed, more than 3,100 planes diverted to land due to massive disruption.
In the United States, the most widespread failure of the aviation system affected all 22 regional air traffic control centers. More than 3,100 planes in the air were urgently directed to land due to safety concerns. More than 10,000 flights were delayed and more than 1,300 were canceled.
A new air traffic control system based on artificial intelligence cost 875 million dollars. 3 days ago it was implemented in 22 regional air control centers, and now there is a failure in all 22 centers.
The large-scale disruption of air traffic was due to a technical error, not a cyber attack.

Routine maintenance work was performed at a remote FAA facility to replace a communications link. Either the replacement was done incorrectly, or an "incorrect router" was installed.
